What would Catch 50 say about this?

From Fox News:

Just a few months after launching the Cold Atom Lab, designed to create the coldest spot in the known universe, 10 billion times colder than the depths of space, NASA has achieved its goal.

Brrrr.

The government agency created atoms known as Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) for the first time in orbit to focus on their unusual quantum behavior. A team of astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS) was able to take the Cold Atom Lab (CAL), which was loaded with lasers and a vacuum chamber, to understand how BECs interact with gravity.
